AM on 01/23/2012	With a GC-1 guitar controlling a GR-55 you can approximate similar sounds to the G-5 via the GR-55's built in COSM guitar/amp modeling technology. The G-5 was designed for players that need some of the tech advantages (like altered tunings and different guitar models) but don't want to go deep like you can with the GR-55. It was designed to be simple and powerful at the same time.

AM on 01/23/2012	The G-5 is powered by 4x AA batteries and lasts about 8-10 hours.

K Dove on 01/20/2012	All of the sounds and gymnastics are great. The original VG Strat was a very good guitar with great sounds! The only problem was the thing drained batteries something awful. I kept mine one month before I became too attached. The battery drain was horrendous. I would like to know how this is powered.

Mark on 01/20/2012	Do you think they'll make relic version. ;)
Jon Fine on 01/20/2012	Skunk sounds killer, as usual. Some great sounds on that thing! So are all the models and tunings built into the guitar, or is it triggering a GR-55 or something similar? I guess if there's no 13-pin output, it all must be built-in. I like that--I've got enough stuff on the floor anyway. Looking forward to trying one--if they've fixed the tracking delay that plagued the early Line 6 stuff, this should really be something!
Sydney Simon on 01/20/2012	Skunk is a killer player, and he just showed some awesome sounds.I want one.
